i'm trying to write a script that will download a week's worth of sun puzzles at a time (actually an update of alex boisvert's script that used to do the same thing back when the puzzles were on nysun.com), but i can't seem to get it working. do you know if the initiated download works with curl? i'm trying the following command:

I don't know anything about PHP but it looks like the type of thing you'd need. There's probably a way to modify it to create an executable program for Mac/Unix. If you come up with anything let me know. I'll look into it myself.

By the way, Kevin, if we do come up with a way to access the Sun puzzle using a script (that would first log us in, of course) would that be allowed under the terms of service of this website? I don't want to waste my time trying to come up with something only to find I can't use it.
